ALFRED H. DAVIES, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO THE SIXTH CITY IRON COMPANY, 0F CLEVELAND, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.

SAD-IRON.

To all idiom t may concern:

Ile it known that I, ALFRED I-I. Davies, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sad-Irons, of which the following is a specification.

My invention reIates to that class of sad iions which are heated by means of gas conducted to the iron proper through a suitable flexible tube and also to sad irons wherein gasolene is employed for the purpose of heating the sad iron.

The objects of the present invent-ion are, first, to provide means whereby the action of the burner may be seen'without removing any of the detachable parts of the sad iron proper,

Another object is to provide means for attachino' and holding sheets of transparent or translucent material such as mica.

'lliese objects together with other objects readil apparent to those skilled in the art, I attain by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, although my invention may be embodied in other forms, the construction illustrated being chosen by wa of example.

n the accompanying drawing: Figure 1y is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a lbngitudinal section on line 2-2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detached view of oiie of the skeletons designed to hold the sheets of inica or other transparent or translucent material.

Throughout the several views similar reference numerals indicate similar parts.

In the accompanying drawing, 1 represents the hollow iron body preferably of the forni shown in the drawings and constituted in the usual manner, except whereby the transparent or translucent sheets are properly connected. The sides of the hollow body 1 are provided with openings which openings are preferably formed of such a size that practically the entire side walls of the hollow body 1 will be cut away so that the entire length of the burner 2 will be exposed to view through the transparent or translucent sheets. At the boundaries of the openings, flanges are formed and about midway between the front and rear ends of the hollow body l are located the integral Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 19, 1912.

Serial No. 678,539.

bars t against which integral bars 4 and the flanges 3 the transparent or translucent sheets 5 are placed and against the inner surfaces of the sheets 5 at their ends or sides are placed the skeleton holders G, which are provided with the central vertical bar 7, which is located so that it will come opposite the bar 4 when placed in proper position; and when placed in proper position as illustrated in Fig. 2 the sheets of mica or like material will be clamped between the bars 4 and 7 and held in such clamped position'by means of suitable screws 8.

It will be understood that the skeleton G should be curved as illustrated in the drawings so that it will conform with the curvature of the hollow sad iron 1, for the purpose of properly binding the sheets designed t0 be clamped and held in position. In gas or gasolene heated sad irons it is of iinportance to know at all times as to whether or not the burner is working properly and by providing the inica sheets or other transparent or tanshieent material it is easy to determine as to whether or not the burner is performing its functions and at the same time the flame can be easily regulated without removing the cover or other detachable parts whereby the sad iron proper is brought to the desired degree of heatthereby preventing any overlieating or uiiderlieating 0E the sad ironproper.

In the drawings I have shown conventionally a gas burner, but it will be understood that other heating devices may he employed without departing from the nature of my invention.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a sad iron of the class described, the combination of a hollow body, the front or forward portion thereof consisting of a curved portion, a burner located within the hollow body, the side walls of the hollow body provided with openings, an integral bar located between the end of the openings in the body, skeletons adapted to be seated against the inner faces of the hollow body adjacent the openings, said openings formed of a length to correspond with the length of the body, transparent sheets located in the have hereunto subscribed my name in the openngs of the bdy and the skleletons lopresence of two witnesses. cater against sait transparent s1eets, and means for connecting the skeletons to the ALFRED H' DAVIES' 5 hollow body, substantially as and for the Witnesses:

purpose speciecl. JOHN C. VHITE, In testimony that I claim the above, I LOUIS S. BLANK.
